Speechless Saturday’s (Behold It’s Glory, For Gundam Does Stand Up)

…..okay so I really don’t know what to say after all that could possibly do justice to the feeling I got seeing this video of people walking up to…..THE FREAKING GUNDAM! Awe, disbelief, revery, all of these descriptors seem to be competing for a place in this paragraph, but none seem to fully convey what I want to say right now. To even think that something like this giant robot could hold such a significant cultural meaning….one that breaks many boundaries of anime fandom and one to warrant such an undertaking as this Real G project……there’s nothing else quite like it. How do you compete with that, how do you even begin to describe it? It doesn’t go well……this doesn’t go well for me. The….the level of detail, the size, THE PRESENCE, THE SPLENDOUR, THE GLORY!

When I saw the video the first time the only thing that I could think of at the time was the line from the first Gundam episode. “It’s standing!” I think I’m in the same boat as you. I almost can’t think of any words to describe my reaction to it. Amazing doesn’t begin to come close to what I think of it when I look at it.

”my future as an anime fan will be written….together with Gundam.” Well said. You speak the words so many people are thinking now.

@Sister Princess: It’s a play on the title of the first SD Gundam episode (Fierce Fighting! Will Gundam Stand Up), which for some reason has stuck with me over the years as a situational observation. Felt it was appropriate for this one. :P
